The manic nature of Vegas' annual Consumer Electronics Show never ceases to amaze. In the heart of the desert, amid the bright lights and sprawling skyscrapers, America's playground plays host to the world's tech elite, who - like the casinos themselves - are in town to promote new products and technologies that are designed to convince you to part with your hard earned.
This year, we've seen the world's thinnest notebook, the world's thinnest smartphone, and a new breed of thin, scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass that promises better protection for all manner of devices. Thin, clearly, is still in, but Smart TVs have also been in the limelight, while a whole new range of tablets from the likes of ASUS, Acer, Toshiba and Dell have all made headlines.
Intel's Ultrabook continues to make waves, as does the chip giant's forthcoming Ivy Bridge architecture, and, as is often the case, Intel's partners are on hand with concept designs that appear too good to be true.
There's no shortage of gadgets, and the show - now in its 44th year - is bigger than ever at over 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space.
You've seen the products, you've seen the technologies, and you've read about the emerging trends. Now, it's time for you, the consumers, to have your say; which products have caught your eye at CES 2012?
Are there any you've classed as must-buy, are there others you'll be watching closely, or have the 3,000+ exhibitors failed to capture your imagination? Share your thoughts in the HEXUS forum.
